                    [Title] => Another swimmer retires
                    [Summary] => Following in the heels of Carlo Piccio’s retirement, national swimmer Lizza Danila announced the other day she is stepping down to give way for others to pursue their Olympic dream.


Piccio and Danila swam for the Philippines at the 2002 Sydney Olympics.

It appears to be in poor timing that both swimmers are pulling out with the Southeast Asian (SEA) Games just a few months away. They’re both gold medal prospects so their withdrawal will surely hurt.

Ibinilang niya ang secondary boys’ 200-meter freestyle sa kan-yang naunang dalawang binasag na marka upang gumawa ng ‘malaking alon’ sa 2005 Palarong Pambansa kahapon dito sa Iloilo Sports Complex.

Naglista ang 16-anyos na produkto ng Manila Youth Games ng tiyem-pong 1:59.92 sa secon-dary boys’ 200m freestyle para burahin ang 1998 record na 2:01.64 ni Miguel Mendoza ng NCR.

Joseph said Filipino swimmers could easily top their three-gold harvest in Vietnam in 2003 as they will surely be inspired by the hometown crowd in this year’s SEAG slated Nov. 27-Dec. 5 in various venues in the country.

Piccio found himself in this situation after he and teammate Miguel Molina both qualified for the 400-m individual medley of the Athens Games.

And since Molina is the stronger swimmer in the event, Piccio had to give way. He will have to try his luck in some other event when he competes in the final Olympic qualifying tournament for swimming in Malaysia next month.

"But our athletes we’ll be there fighting."
